Are you finding the demands to your team overwhelming and the process chaotic? Are your customers saying your team takes too long to deliver or that they have no idea what your team is busy doing? Do you have a growing backlog with requests months to years old? Are people with critical skills not available when you need them? Do you feel like priorities are changing all the time? On top of your ever-growing delivery workload, are you able to develop the capabilities of your team?

The situations above reflect common challenges for software development teams and for IT Organizations in both private and public sectors. Kanban is being used worldwide as a management method that helps teams pull themselves out of these sinkholes and dramatically reduce work delivery times, increase productivity and improve project visibility. The method’s rapid success is based on its adaptability to existing situations and on its evolutionary capabilities to evolve along with the challenges it must solve. When implemented correctly, it is relatively easy to adopt, encounters minimal resistance to change and quickly enhances morale and trust in organizations.

This presentation aims to provide an introduction to Kanban core practices and why they work and practical insights into where the method might best fit within your organization or agency.
